So do you remember this post? I promised I would be back to show you some magic... Ta da! Here it is!
The finished platter.
I also wanted to chime in and talk a little bit about process sharing. Seems I opened a can of worms with the platters progress post. I received many an email asking me what exactly my process is and to explain it. I admit that it may have been misleading and that it might have looked like I was giving a tutorial but in fact my intention with that particular post was to share with you what goes into my making one of my platters and was not intended, in any way, to be a tutorial. So if you write (or wrote) to me and ask me to give a detailed explanation of my process and I respond by saying no, please, please don't be offended. I ask you keep in mind this is my livelihood. I have had a handful of bad experiences with large companies and individuals knocking off my work and stealing designs so putting it ALL out there is not something I am comfortable with. Besides the magic would be gone if I revealed my tricks. I know it sucks to get a reply denying your request when you are well meaning and asking a question out of enthusiasm because you are inspired by what you see. Believe me, I feel awful writing back saying no I'm not going to tell you what you would like to know.
So let's not make each other feel bad anymore, okay? No more dreaded question and no more dreaded answer.
Deal!
One kindly inquirer suggested I write a book about my process and I thought it was a great idea. Maybe someday that will happen and if it does I promise I will write a very juicy tell all.
P.S. A special thanks to those of you who did write and ask and so graciously accepted my response and wrote back to me saying you understood. I truly appreciate it!
Hello Friends,I wanted to let you know that these two platters are now available in my shop.okay, now back to work!!
12"x10" oval platter with swallow and red poppy
I had a recent house (& studio) guest stay with me this past week. I thought it would be fun to mix it up with the photographs and add a new "live" element and Wilfredo kindly obliged. He even dawned his lovely stripey sweater for the photo shoot. I do think he might of been bit disappointed that the above platter was not filled with doggy kibble.
The platter along with many other new items will be going off Swallow Gallery in Brooklyn. Happy weekend friends!
